At the beginning of this century, electronic experimentalist William Basinski discovered, in transferring tape loops to a digital format, that the original tapes disintegrated in the process to a point where new sounds were introduced, essentially creating new pieces. He finished his transfer process the morning of September 11, 2001 — just in time to watch the Twin Towers fall from his Williamsburg apartment. This concert features a new orchestration of the work (with electronics) — along with immersive architecturally mapped projections.
